| | Why It Happens | The Fix | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Mounting Too High | Installers try to cover too much area, ending up with a wide shot that captures the top of heads instead of faces. | Keep cameras between 2.4m and 3m high. Use varifocal zoom lenses if you need flexibility. | | Ignoring Network Config | Improper IP allocation or forgetting to update firmware leads to cameras dropping offline. | Use NVRs with auto-IP assignment. Create a separate CCTV subnet for large jobs to avoid IP conflicts. | | Poor Cable Management | Messy cable runs, tight bends, or exposed joints lead to corrosion and signal failure. | Use conduit or trunking. Leave slack at the camera end and use the waterproof grommets provided with the camera. | | Over-using Wi-Fi | Placing cameras in areas with weak signal (e.g., brick garages) causes lag and missed motion events. | Run PoE (Power over Ethernet) wherever possible. Save Wi-Fi for small, single-camera domestic jobs. | | Use NVRs with auto-IP assignment
Verify that cameras are positioned at an optimal height to capture identifiable features while remaining high enough to be out of reach of casual tampering. Conclusion | Keep cameras between 2
